MindMed Joins Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative

MindMed Joins Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (DE: MMQ) (the “Company”), a leading biotech company developing psychedelic-inspired therapies, has joined the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) to contribute in developing and driving adoption of practices that increase the quality and efficiency of clinical trials.

MindMed joins CTTI as one of approximately 80 member organizations interested in advancing higher quality clinical trials and accelerating the path to new therapeutics and other medical products. CTTI convenes its members – along with nearly 500+ multi-stakeholder organizations and individuals from across the clinical trials ecosystem – to discuss issues, exchange ideas, and come to a consensus on solutions to the greatest challenges in clinical research. As a member of the Steering Committee, MindMed will contribute to setting project priorities within CTTI’s agenda, as well as serving on the teams that create recommendations and resources to transform clinical trials globally.

“We welcome every meaningful opportunity to actively participate in the advancement of innovations that are ultimately contributing to the improvement of the way we develop medicine and bring treatment to the patient,” said Daniel R. Karlin, MD MA, Chief Medical Officer of MindMed. “MindMed and CTTI are both focused on improving clinical trials on behalf of patients and thus being a part of their mission aligns perfectly with the goals and values we have at MindMed. We look forward to being active partners in this initiative.”

CTTI’s Transforming Trials 2030 vision centers on five principles: that clinical trials in 2030 be patient-centered and easily accessible; fully integrated into health processes; designed with a quality approach; maximally leveraging all available data; and improving population health.

MindMed is working to increase accessibility to potentially curative therapies in an overburdened mental healthcare system, working to make sure adoption of psychedelic therapies is evidence-based and easy to integrate into existing healthcare processes. With their digital arm, Albert, MindMed uses traditional and digital clinical trial data collection tools to get patient-reported, clinician-reported, and real world data.

MindMed Announces Strategic Research Collaboration with Sphere Health

MindMed Announces Strategic Research Collaboration with Sphere Health

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (DE: MMQ) (the “Company”), a leading biotech company developing psychedelic-inspired therapies, has agreed to partner with Sphere Health – a physician-founded employee benefits provider targeting treatments for people with severe mental illness – to collect and analyze multimodal data in order to improve the understanding of a variety of biomarkers associated with mental illnesses including anxiety and affective disorders.

MindMed and Sphere Health are jointly launching MM061302, a study using existing consumer technology to provide a robust data set, which may be used to develop more accurate machine learning tools in order to identify biomarkers that show association with and prediction of symptoms of anxiety and depression.

The study data can be used to better understand mental health conditions, and may help inform the design of future digital tools to support both individuals with mood disorders as well as the clinicians caring for them

Through the partnership with MindMed’s collaborator Datavant, study data can also be de-identified and linked at the subject-level to other data sets, maintaining patient privacy while offering further insights based on real-world data.

“We are thrilled to have Sphere Health as a partner in this endeavor. As the ways in which individuals use technology to access care continues to evolve, so can our understanding of mental illness and mental health. The use of technology has the potential to offer a level of sensitivity and precision which does not currently exist in our models of these disorders and, we hope, will ultimately lead to better outcomes in our ability to help the folks who suffer from them” said Daniel R. Karlin, MD MA, Chief Medical Officer of MindMed.

“For therapy to advance, we need more research. At the same time, we need to make sure that respecting patient privacy and safeguarding their deepest, most personal moments, remains a hallmark of both clinical care and the ethical conduct of research,” added Owen Muir, MD, Sphere Health CEO and Principal Investigator of the study.

MindMed Appoints University of North Carolina Psychiatrist and Pharmacologist Dr. Bryan Roth to Scientific Advisory Board

MindMed Appoints University of North Carolina Psychiatrist and Pharmacologist Dr. Bryan Roth to Scientific Advisory Board

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD; NEO: MMED; DE: MMQ; the “Company”), a leading biotech company developing psychedelic-inspired therapies, is pleased to announce the addition of Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD to its Scientific Advisory Board.

Dr. Roth has spent over 30 years studying molecular neuropharmacology. He is the Michael Hooker Distinguished Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of North Carolina’s (UNC) School of Medicine. He is also the director of the National Institute of Mental Health Psychoactive Drug Screening Program.

Dr. Roth’s research focuses on removing the hallucinogenic effects from psychedelic drugs; eliminating the hours-long hallucinatory trips that may turn some patients away from psychedelic-assisted treatments. He was among the first to publish in the scientific journal, Cell, the structure of how LSD binds to serotonin receptors within the brain. This structure is crucial to help scientists understand why psychedelics can have hallucinogenic and therapeutic effects.

Dr. Roth’s search for drugs that bind to and activate serotonin receptors without causing a psychedelic experience secured a $27 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency , a research and development agency of the US Department of Defense that helps advance emerging technologies. The grant helped fund Ultra Large-Scale-Docking, a computer program which can generate a billion theoretical psychedelic compounds that all score differently in how they activate the 5-HT-2A serotonin receptor. Dr. Roth’s team is studying the compounds Ultra Large-Scale-Docking  identifies which are the likeliest to activate the serotonin receptor without triggering hallucinations.

MindMed CEO Robert Barrow said, “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Roth to our Scientific Advisory Board. In the pursuit of reimagining mental health and addiction care, we want to ensure the treatments we’re studying are effective and accessible for as many patients as possible. Dr. Roth’s extensive experience in psychiatry and pharmacology will be invaluable in progressing all of our research and development efforts.”

Dr. Roth noted, “Psychedelic compounds like psilocybin have some of the most robust antidepressant effects I’ve ever seen in Phase II studies. But not all patients are comfortable with their treatment program requiring hallucinatory trips. My research, and the perspective I’m excited to bring to MindMed’s drug development programs, focuses on how we can make drugs that are maximally helpful to patients while minimizing discomfort in the treatment process.”

MindMed’s Scientific Advisory Board is composed of a diverse group of members with expertise in psychiatry, neuroscience, and clinical development. The Scientific Advisory Board leverages decades of experience in biotechnology and psychiatry to guide MindMed’s development programs. Members represent institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, New York University Langone Health, Duke University, the National Institutes of Health, Stanford University, and Massachusetts General Hospital

Psilocybin or SSRIs? Why not both!

MindMed and Liechti Lab Provide Results from their Psilocybin R&D Collaboration

A new study found that combining SSRIs and psilocybin is not only safe, but may be beneficial!

Yesterday, MindMed (MNMD) announced the findings from several ongoing studies conducted in collaboration with UHB Liechti Lab.

In one study, psilocybin was found to be safe to administer with an SSRI antidepressant and did not reduce the psychedelic experience. Two weeks prior to the psilocybin dose, volunteers were give a daily pretreatment of the SSRI escitalopram. As a result, the volunteers experienced reduced anxiety and blood pressure increases that occur with psilocybin administration.

Another study compared the perceptual effects of psilocybin to LSD and revealed that a 20 mg dose of psilocybin is equivalent to 100 mcg of LSD.

The company will continue to analyze the study data and will publish additional findings later this year.
